OUR MISSION

To assist the Pittsburgh Region's Black community in achieving self-sustaining practices, through strategic leadership, collective giving, grantmaking and advocacy.  

Created in the format of a Community Foundation, POISE receives funds from a variety of donors. These funds may be unrestricted, and used to support our grantmaking strategy, or donor-directed for specific charitable purposes.
